grab a snack, this isn't short.

i'd like to know how it compairs to mitsu's "super AYC" (Active Yaw Control). http://www.mitsubishi-motors.com/corporate/about_us/technology/performance/e/awc.html

but basicly honda now figured out what an active limited-slip center differential is and does.

They claim that as a "first", I swear 911 Turbos had something like that many years ago. Granted that's not an idealistic comparision.

yeah, i too thought the system seemed somewhat familiar. maybe not familiar to honda. [:p]

doesn't the passat 4motion have a similar technology? I know they can vary torque with different ration to every wheel. like 10, 30, 40,20.....etc..........

4Motion doesn't do full side to side power transfer does it? The Acura/Honda AWD system is probably lighter than a Torsen equipped vehicle too.
